God, I feel like a window licker.
Let me clear it up.

This is my Jan 22,2005 dyno with no superchips.

This is the October 22,2005 dyno after the superchips install.


This is an overlay of the two. (I corrected it) I asked the dyno guy if he would show me a comparison.

I apologize for confusing you guys. Hope it makes sense now.

uh oh, now you're vreally done it. That image ^^ is labeled wrong. DON'T LOOK AT IT, YOU'LL CONFUSE YOURSELF!!

If I didn't know better and I just saw the torque curve and no hp, I might think that was a diesel tq curve. Man I love the hemi.

Hey!!! I admitted to it... Everyone has their moments every once and a while... Oh well whatever....

Those dyno sheets are really not looking right now though... Is he trying to throw everyone through a loop? 277 before and 276.8 after? That's going to raise alot of questions there..

Please, Ask away.

Do you think I'm doing something shady???

The dyno name has my license plate number on it. It is mine.

The whole point I was trying to make was that I got my Programmer and was all excited when I went to the dyno because I thought I was goint to see a 27 horsepower gain, or what ever horsepower gain they claim on their website.

Then I dynoed it and you can see that the HP did not go up like I was hoping.

Lol, I know. I'm just givin you ****. Lord knows I have my moments.

There isn't anything terribly wrong with those sheets, I don't suspect foul play or anything, I just think the dyno could use a little calibration.

The horsepower didn't go up over the whole band, but it did give you high end horsepower. This is almost exactly what I expected, I would have thought at least some hp over the whole band (8-10).

Hmmmm, I wonder if you were running summer for the first and winter fuel for the second.

He could also be losing some compression up high in the band or even have a restriction in the exhaust which would also account for it 'feej...

both would cause high end losses. what would cause a loss (which shows up as no gain after using SC) over the whole curve?
